I love YA fantasy and I’m looking for diverse stories and #ownvoices here. Where are the Latinx witches and kingdoms? Take me to places based off of cultures like my own, and not like my own. I like contemp, court intrigue, plot twists and tropes (and spins on tropes too) #MSWLSharing this again! I’m really craving a high concept YA fantasy right now! Bonus points if it’s a Latinx one. Something that stands out and has strong emotional resonance, as well as complex characters (and character dynamics) #mswl

#MSWL includes all YA/MG/PB except fantasy. I'm hungry for something that grabs me in from the first line and totally distracts me from COVID worries. stringerlit.com

There are so many good non-Holocaust Jewish pitches!!!AGENTS. EDITORS. Please please try acquiring and promoting books that aren't just about mass Jewish death. Jewish kids AND non-Jewish kids deserve to see Jewish people as heroes of their own story, not just against Nazis.

Rounding off my #MSWL tweets today, in NF I’m looking for the following topical themes:
-eco-friendly lifestyle
-cultural criticism (e.g. gender, race, sexuality)
-YA books about the +/- effects of the beauty industry
-parenting, reproductive health, physical wellness

All of us could use an escape right now, a little armchair travel, perhaps? @SEmorgenthaler's upcoming THE TOURIST ATTRACTION is what we all need. @NetGalley reviewers would agree!Preorder: books2read.com/u/bQRwEe pic.twitter.com/1o8OR1zuw5
This looks so good!!! I’d love a YA romance or women’s fiction featuring such a distinct setting with the warm feeling of small town tourist attraction! #mswl

This Monday morning, I’m wishing for YA with a vivid world/setting that bends the rules in its genre—whether that be genre blending or an unexpected twist to a tired trope, I want to be surprised and taken away to another world. #mswl #ya
